Chapter 2

A/N: Hi! I don't have much to say, really... LOL. Anyways, happy reading!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL- IT BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA!

Erza slumped onto the couch of her shared dorm room. She gazed up at the ceiling and closed her eyes. Mira walked into the room and sat beside Erza.

"Hey."

"Hi Mira."

"Looks like you had a pretty rough day, Titania." Mirajane chuckled.

"You got that right. Natsu and Gray got into a fight right off the bat! It took me awhile to pull them apart..."

Mirajane laughed. "That's Natsu and Gray for you!"

"Yeah..."

"What about Evergreen?"

"Come to think of it, I didn't see her today."

Erza sighed as Mira mimicked Evergreen's usual tirade: "One day I'll beat you, Erza; the title 'Titania' is mine!" Erza groaned. Her impersonations were always spot on.

"I'm going to get something to eat," Erza said as she stood. "Coming?"

"I'm sorry, Erza, I can't... I have a date."

"Now?"

"No, but I need to freshen up a bit."

" I see... Well then, have fun."

And with that, Erza grabbed her purse and walked out the door.

...

Erza ordered a cup of coffee and a slice of none other than her strawberry cake. After waiting for what seemed like ages, Erza paid for her "dinner" and carried it to an empty table. She sat down and began to eat.

"That was delicious." She thought to herself as she walked out of the bakery. Erza was so deep into her thoughts when suddenly; she bumped into a hooded man holding various trinkets, causing them to scatter in all directions. She too, fell.

"I-I'm so sorry; I didn't see you there!" stammered Erza as she dusted herself off.

She looked at the man, who was about to respond, but merely nodded and started to pick up his belongings. Erza chipped in and managed to get a glimpse of him. A few strands of blue hair were poking out of his hood. The rest of his face remained concealed.

There was something queer about him though; it seemed that he has a red tattoo below is right eye. Erza gasped and managed to cover her mouth as she gaped at him.

"Is there something wrong, miss?"

"N-nothing!" said a startled Erza. "Here!" She thrust the items she retrieved into the confused man's arms. She turned and quickly walked away.

A/N: That's all for now. Thanks for reading! Stay tuned ;)
